1 The God of gods, the Lord has spoken, he summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 God has shone from Zion, perfect in beauty.
3 God is no longer silent, he comes; before him is a devouring fire, around him a raging storm.
4 He calls to the heavens above, and to the earth below, that he may judge his people:
5 "Gather before me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 The heavens will proclaim his sentence, for God himself is the judge.
7 "Hear, O my people, for I am speaking. I will accuse you, O Israel, I am God, your God!
8 Not for your sacrifices do I reprove you, for your burnt offerings are ever before me.
9 I need no bull from your stalls, nor he-goat from your pens.
10 For I own all the beasts of the forest and the animals of my thousand hills.
11 All the birds of the air I know; all that move in the fields are mine.
12 I need not tell you if I were hungry, for mine is the world and all that it contains.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14 Yet offer to God a sacrifice of thanks, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15 Call on me in time of calamity; I will deliver you, and you will glorify me."
16 But God says this to the wicked: "What right have you to mouth my laws, or to talk about my covenant?
17 You hate my commands and cast my words behind you.
18 You join a thief when you meet one; you keep company with adulterers.
19 You have a mouth of evil and a deceitful tongue.
20 You speak ill of your brother, and slander your own mother's son.
21 Because I was silent while you did these things, you thought I was like you. But now I rebuke you and make this charge against you.
22 Give this a thought, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces with no one to help you.
23 Those who give with thanks offerings honor me, but the one who walks blamelessly, I will show him the salvation of God."
